I used to work really close to Stillen, and I would get my Hawk pads from them. I liked them cuz they weren't as dusty as stock.

We carry, Stock, Nismo, Hawk and Project MU. PM me for pricing. I checked with Service, they recommend if you have over 3000 miles you should lightly resurface the rotors. BUT, if you've been driving the crap out of the car, even 1000 miles might be too much. Hard question to answer.
